The Science of Sound Therapy

Sound therapy may seem mystical, but there is solid science behind how it works. during the 1950s, Dr. Mitchel Gaynor, Oncologist, is considered an American pioneer in sound healing. He discovered the calming effect that singing bowls had on his cancer patients and incorporated sound as an additional modality in his treatments. Procedures known as Intravascular Lithotripsy, incorporates pulses of sound waves to break up calcium in the arteries. The calcium particles are then naturally removed from the body as waste. Scientific research continues in the field of sound healing with the intention of developing systems that are more wholistic and less intrusive for the client.

Studies show that sound waves can positively affect brainwave activity, encouraging shifts from high-frequency beta waves (associated with stress) to lower frequency delta and theta waves (associated with relaxation and meditation). These changes in brainwave activity help reduce stress and promote healing.

Specific sound frequencies penetrate cells and tissues, influencing blood circulation, reducing inflammation, pain and improving immune function.

By understanding the science behind sound therapy, it becomes clear why this ancient practice has become a modern tool for wellness. Whether you're looking to calm your mind or enhance physical healing, sound therapy provides a scientifically supported pathway to improved well-being. Sound healing sessions are an effortless way to receive frequencies that are able to produce immediate results. When used in a consistent and systematic manner, the results may turn into long lasting beneficial effects.
